Dogs need different diets at different ages. Yes. This is true. For
For example, the puppy needs milk as the major food item while an adult dog
may need beef or chicken in addition to the boiled egg and milk. So
depending on the age factor, the diet schedule varies in reality for the
dogs like any other species.
Puppies need greater amounts of protein, fat, and carbohydrates
than adult dogs. Furthermore, puppies need more frequent feeding
schedules in a day, unlike adult dogs. The movement-based
requirements of diet are more in the case of puppies since they are often
more active than adult dogs.
Elder dogs need restricted protein but the protein needs to be easily
digestible and easily assimilated in the body. The diet schedule should
have an ample supply of water for them. Feeding aged dogs too much protein
may finally lead to overburden on the renal structures and ultimately, the
dog may end up damaging filters in the kidney.
This is true especially when the immune system of these dogs is
compromised due to many factors. Similarly, the elderly dogs need less
food only because the movements of the adult dogs are highly restricted
and hence, they have to spend a limited of energy.
Female dogs in the pregnancy stage need not be fed a full stomach
since it may cause some discomfort to the animal. However, the pregnant
animal and the nursing animal need special types of food items that deliver
a balanced type of nutrition with proper supplementation of vitamins and
minerals.
The nursing animal with puppies need to be fed with enough
amounts of calcium and hence, there will not be any calcium based
deficiency and the bones of the puppies will be strong without any curving.
